Question

The length of a rectangle is

51
inches more than the width. The perimeter is
146
inches. Find the length and the width.

Answer 1

L=62", W=11"

Explanation:

P = 2L+2W

146 = 2(W+51)+2W

146 =4 W+102

44 = 4W

11 = W

The width is 11 inches. The length is then

L = W+51

L = 11+51

L = 62 inches
